  1. I'll watch it when it comes out, not paying to go see it. I like stupid movies just to halfway pay attention and laugh at while cleaning firearms or whatever.
  2. Academy Sports has 30cal plastic ammo cams for $4.99. Their sale prices are already active based on the leaked ad and my trip today.
  3. My sister in law put her Christmas tree up last night. Wife wants our up already, I said no way. Earliest I am messing with that is first weekend in December, and that is only for because of the wife and kid.
  4. Saw 9 does and 4 bucks - pretty sure the one buck I saw twice so make it 3 bucks. He went into the one ridge point and came back out 30 minutes later. Didn't have a shot at any of them unfortunately. The one buck seemed to be a monster, he was on the far side of the field (250 yards) and I could see antler without any optics. The other was a good size 7 point and the last buck was a small 6 that I would have let walk anyway. I was hoping something would have kept walking my way but wasn't happening. I broke my buck/doe call this morning pulling it out of my pack so have to go buy another. I think with a working call I could have pulled one in range.
  5. I have mentioned in a couple other posts that I picked up my first Glock a few weeks ago. I dropped the slide off with Amendment 2 Custom Coating and it looks great! Glock 30 Gen 2.5 (no rail) .45acp Lone Wolf chrome extended take down lever Ghost Bullet stainless extended slide lock Stainless pins Burnt Bronze cerakoted slide The night sights are faded and need replaced (they still glow just faded). I am thinking about getting TFO green/yellow or plain fiber optic red/green but not a priority. Used natural light and flash to try and get a good image, the Burnt Bronze looks really good, better than photos I have seen online.
  6. Also, not really a sale but a holiday giveaway for a new product.... Check out the new trigger from LaRue, giving away one a day on their site and Arfcom.   http://larue.com/larue-tactical-mbt-2s-trigger   PS - I already won one, should have it in a few weeks  :)
  7. https://www.lwrci.com/   Having different daily deals and free shipping.   Cabelas is having a big sale and give aways. No details yet though.... http://www.cabelas.com/category/Black-Friday/468246780.uts?avad=55963_b75b6d16&WT.mc_id=al41227&rid=12&WT.tsrc=AFF   I'm waiting to see what Primary Arms will announce. And hoping PSA won't blow their sale on Monday going into the holiday and have nothing left for Black Friday / Cyber Monday like last year,
  8. I'm looking for a 1-4x or 1-6x scope for my carbine. Haven't decided what I'm going with yet but the lower magnification fits my needs and still capable of mid range shooting.
  9. Yeah... This must have happened when the stand was really cold/brittle and/or this fell from way up high - I have seen limbs this size hit other stands and just slightly bend them. I looked and could not tell where it came from, the couple of dead limbs I could see where on trees at least 10 feet away. I am glad that it broke and was very obvious - much netter than only cracked and not knowing until I started to climb. This is how it looked, nothing was lying on the stand. The platform was not visibly damaged at all. I am thinking about researching some strap on seats, or looking at welding on a folding seat so I can still use the platform. Going to try and wait until season closes to buy a new climber and hopefully catch a good sale. Luckily we have the 2 ladder stands out there so I can still hunt. I may even take my lock on and hang it on this ridge for rifle season.
  10. What if I pull the Uncle Mikes tag off so you think it is another brand? :) I'm in. This will be my first year.
  11. I'm back in the truck now, waiting on my FIL. I got out on the ridge this morning to a busted up tree stand. So ended up sitting on the ground until a few minutes ago and decided I was finished. A branch fell out of the tree and hit my stand and busted one of the arms in half. Will get a picture up later. I'm looking for another decent climber now... May have to bring my lock on stand out here and go buy a ladder to use for rifle season. I did have a dozen turkeys fly down and feed in front of me. All Jakes and toms, a couple good 8" beards. They came up within 20 yards of me and I got some video with my phone.
  12. Those powders look nothing alike, gross inattention to mix them up. Glad he is ok. And yes I know mistakes can happen to anyone, including me, but mixing those two powders up just blows my mind.
  13. Hate time changes - 4 hours and still a couple more to go working on fixing issues caused by time changing.
  14. I use it as a release except on my 1911. I read a brief article yesterday while searching for a new lock/release - seems to be primarily an American function. In Europe seems to be primarily used as a lock and they pull the slide to release. For those saying it is not intended as a release, how do you use the bolt catch on your AR? Do you press it to release the bolt carrier or do you pull the charging handle back each time to release? I don't really see that it makes much of a difference. Use the slide lock as a release works well for me and is quicker than pulling the slide then getting my grip reestablished.
  15. Marlin 336 in .35Rem Higher end 1911 - Springfield TRP up to an Ed Brown or Wilson. My late uncle's Smith and Wesson revolver, now owned by my cousin. I forget the exact model now but is a 1960s era .357 M1 Garand would be nice. There is one in my family, but we are not really on speaking terms so doubt I will ever get it. Torn between an AR-10 and a bolt action .308. Probably one of each :)
  16. Have one of their lowers, one my 18" rifle. No quality or function complaints, but the lower is kind of busy looking and the markings could be scaled down. Just a minor cosmetic thought that others may not share. Have 2 uppers on the way right now.
  17. Thanks for the input. I'm going to order a new one, comparing prices but like the look of the Ghost release in stainless.
  18. Brass showed up today Red, thank you. Mag pouch will hold double stack mags. Tested double stack 16 round 9mm and 10 round .45acp. Height wise 1911 mag is about perfect.
  19. Just compared the original and the new "extended" release - should have done this sooner. They are indeed identical.  So either the supplier messed up or the gun shop pulled one on me.     Oh well, lessons learned. Has anyone here used the Ghost bullet slide lock/release? It looks good in the pics.
  20. That was one of my fears, that what was in the package was not the extended release. Bought it from a local gun shop - they said it was extended and the package model number matches Amazon's extended release (SP07496). I paid with cash and no receipt so will be stuck with it and need to order something else from a more reliable source I guess.
  21. I bought an extended slide release for the Glock 30 I just picked up. Installed the release today and it still sucks. It basically lies flat against the slide, really no shelf to get my thumb on. Model is SP07496 as seen from Amazon The picture makes it appear there is a shelf to hit and get a good release. Here is what mine looks like installed This is my first Glock so not sure if this really is their extended release or if a standard release got mixed in somehow. Is there any other releases that stick out a bit to get more leverage? Maybe I am just used to the release on my 1911 and Sig 2022 where I can actually get my thumb on the release and press down. With this Glock I am having to press my thumb in and down since it does not stick out at all. This works, just not as easy/quick as I am used to with other handguns. I did find this Ghost Bullet Slide Release, picture appears to be what I am looking for but I thought the release I bought had a slight protrusion so not sure if this one is any better. Any used this or have any other ideas?
  22. Found a few items that someone may be able to use. May end up with more stuff to add later. 1. Double magazine pouch with belt loops. Never worn. 2. Sealed 4oz bottle Lee liquid Alox bullet lube. 3. Midwest Industries MCTAR-10 rear sling adapter for M4 stock. No quick detach swivel included, just the adapter. Light scuff but never actually used. 4. New Pro-Shot 10mm/,40s&w nylon brush.
  23. Yep, that little sign would have made the difference. I almost said something but was in a hurry.
  24. Ordered some too. Columbia PJ is now posted after the robbery/murder.
  25. Same here - same pistol and desire to run down there some time.
